    I keep my $800+ lenses for a lot longer than 4-5 years.  A good lens is a lifetime purchase.  My canon L lenses work on my canon film cameras, my canon DSLR, and my BMPCC.  IS works even on the BMPCC with speedbooster.

    The Samsung lenses will be paperweights in a few years.  Total false economy.

    @Damphousse  Your comments about the lens are true are why I bought the Sigma in the Nikon mount.  I do, however, think it's funny that the "professionals" on here all knock the NX1 because the company closed their camera business.  I can  honestly say that since the day they closed their business, especially with the hacks, the camera footage has actually gotten better.  Imagine that...people loving a camera so much they continually try to improve it :)  Shooting videos of my kids, I, like most people in the world, don't need an Arri Alexa.  If you only have $1200 to spend...you could do worse than the NX1...

  2. Since you asked...I'll give you my 2 cents...

    I also own the NX1, along with the Sigma 18-35mm (nikon mount), a 18-55 Samdung kit lens and a Rokinon 35mm (Nx mount).  I will admit to seeing the occasional Blackmagic footage and thinking it looks incredible...

    However, for me, the ability to also take stills with the camera eliminated any of the non-4K blackmagics.  You can take still frames from 4k footage and they do look good, but, knowing I would need another camera for stills pushed me towards the Samsung NX1.  I don't worry too much about it being a "dead" system, as my budget only allows for a purchase like this every 4-5 years anyways.

    Here is one of my NX1 videos:

    Super cute babies!

    Sometimes at 18mm or so, its hard to tell if its tack sharp or not, so when im in trouble, I just turn on peaking and all is great. Any other 35mm made for fullframe (like the rokinon or sigma art or something) are 35x1.5 crop, so you do get a bit more zoom, its easier to see if its in focus or not.

    The screen on the NX1 is great, but a tiny bit too small, it might be a good idea to get an external monitor, im thinking of getting one soon.

    Thanks!  Cute is the word...

    It makes sense that this is easier to see if it's in focus with the 35mm.  I'm going to try the focus peaking and see where if that helps.  I hate to leave such a beautiful lens in the bag all the time :)

  4. @ricardo_sousa11 Nice images...you definitely get to go to some cool events!  My entry this month is certainly not as polished as yours, but, nonetheless, here it is...

     

    Still using your settings.

    Quick question...do you find it hard to focus with the Sigma 18-35mm?  I have it as well and it is a royal pain to make sure I am sharply focused, as compared to my Rokinon 35mm (which this was shot with).

  5. @Parker and @ricardo_sousa11  You guys are really showcasing what this camera can do.  My videos are not quite at that level yet, so keep sharing your latest settings with us all!  We will keep posting our latest videos.    

    @August McCue Great video...I watched it less from a critical perspective and just as someone trying to "re-live" the day...I would be quite happy if my wedding video came out that good 

  6. We found our way to the beach last weekend and had to take the NX1 and Sigma 18-35mm with me.  This is a short edit.  Using the ASCEND LUT as the basis with some iMovie Film Grain @ 20%.  Hope you guys like it...

     

     

  7. As someone who has yet to install the hacks...it would be nice for Andrew to install them and spotlight these developments with a proper article.  You can find tons of information / reviews of the ML hacks for Cannon...all of this for the NX1 is found on two forums.  

    Since I also purchased Andrew's NX1 guide, I think that should be updated with at least a summary of the possibilities that are now possible and how that can lead to a better image.

  8. OK...I have been able to pop on here every few days and check some of the progress for the hack.  Some of the footage looks amazing and the developers should be commended!  My question is this...as someone how has not hacked yet and this is my only camera, is the hack STABLE enough to install?  Do you lose any other functions because of installing the hack?  Lastly, what / where are the shortest instructions to install the hack?  I have an NX1.

  9. For those that have an NX1, can you discuss what LUTs you like to use and why?  Maybe post a screen grab of what the finished film looks like?  I have been using the OSIRIS LUTs for the most part.  

    This is what my OSIRIS files look like:

    Also, tested some new in-cam settings, here are the graded results !

    Well, you can't share something that looks as nice as these and then NOT share the in-camera settings :)  Please, Ricardo, do share your latest settings?

  11. Thanks GEOFF...been all over that thread.  I'm actually more concerned with what people do once they are done shooting...no in-camera stuff.  What export settings, straight from 4K to 1080p, edit 4k then export 1080p, etc...

     

    Post-shooting, what is your workflow?

  12. So, I've seen a few postings...just wanted to see if you guys can weigh in on how you are getting the best (cleanest) image out of your camera.

    I typically take the 4K files into EDITREADY, process them as 4K ProRes 422LT.  Then, I pull them into Final Cut Pro to grade.  Export out of Final Cut Pro as H.264 files, usually as 1080p.  What are you guys doing?
